It dates back to the DTC-01.
In my DECtalk work-alike, any voice can be changed and saved -- and
later restored. There are mechanisms to allow for a "factory reset"
of an original voice definition (so you don't have to explicitly
enumerate all of the parameters for the voice to re-initialize it)
Also, other voices be created (you're not limited to b, f, h, k, p, r, u
and v). I primarily use this feature for alerts/notifications, speaking
punctuation (so you get an auditory cue that what you are hearing is
not really "text"), etc.
